see the figure of the Ohio statesman

by what his most intimate personal friends

CHICAGO. January l0.h.-.The Times says:
Socialism again reared its he'd yesterday
afternoon within half block of the spot
where the fatal bomb fell on the night of
May 4th. A call had been issued for mass
meeting of socialistic sympathizers at Zepi's
Hall yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. So
impatient were the reds - to begin their
abuse of law and order that long before
the hour the hall was occupied by about
100 men and one woman. The speeches
were made entirely in German. not word
of English being spoken dnring the entire
meeting. The various speakers preached
fire and damnation against the police de-
partment, Courts. militia and other repre-
sentatives of law. as well as against capital
lists and "capitalisticn press. During the
meeting men passed around the hall offer
ing for sale copies of the lives of Johann
Most and August Reinschof, printed in
German, and also the speeches made by
the imprisoned Anarchists at the conclu-
sion of their trial.

senator stanford as an Orator.
NEW YORK, January 1lth--A. M.-The
7ribmae's Washington special says Sena-
tor Stanford is not frequently heard in the
Senate Chambers, but when he speaks 1t is
generally to the point, and worth listening
to. To-day, for instance, when he talked
upon the interstate commerce bill
he commanded an audience which
might have fattered the vanity
of the beet speaker in the chamber,
and he is probably the worst, in some re
spects, that ever addressed the Senate. His
voice is scarcely audible ten feet away, his
manner betrays embarrassment, his enun-
citation shows he lacks practice in public
speaking, and he seems to lack confidence
in himself; bat, in spite of all these disad-
vantages he is sure to command respect
full attention whenever he rises in his
seat. This afternoon half of the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate came over to
where Stanford stood, in order to listen to
! him. Attentive silence, a rather rare
occurrence in the Senate, peryaded the

Most of the spruce gum handled by
the dealers comes from Canada and

New Hampshire contribute moderate
quantity to the total yield. The best

A Southern Soldier, in the Wash

the following:
The war is over. The true sign of
this is that another is wanted right
now-as is the case in every land each
twenty or thirty years. Another and
more pleasing sign is that in their
magazine articles the Generals (and
their duly appointed attorneys in fact,
the staff officers), who have converted
their swords into that mightier weapon,
the pen, display no animosity to their
former enemies. but direct all their as
saults against some cooperating Gen.
eral on their own side. Sometimes the
magazines have ..Recollections Of a

copious streams and teeming millions of

Napoleon prophesied sore things for
Europe should China once be taught

possible in fact or logic that Europe's
thrift is to be based on Asiatic ignor-
ance. Ii it is, then it were high time
that the theory were exploded. China

none better in the world-she buys old
scraps Of every sort from European
junk shops, and freiShts it here to ham,

and tools, and such other small-way
iron needs as must be filled. With
mines of gold and silver full of richest
ores, it coins no money, save its
dirty copper "cash"-one hundred
